TWO TIMES EIGHT

Scoring an eight-ender—a perfect end—is an achievement ranked as one of the most difficult in sport. Many players compete their entire career without even witnessing one. But in 1993 the team of Kim Gellard, Corie Beveridge, Lisa Savage, and Sandy Graham accomplished something that had never been done before or since. Playing in a school league, the team recorded consecutive eight-enders—two perfect ends. “It’s amazing,” commented Gellard, the skip. No curler alive would disagree.
